> So Emacs could decide to ignore the shell job control

C-z in Emacs doesn't invoke job control, it invokes an Emacs command
that _emulates_ job control by sending the SIGTSTP signal to the Emacs
process (if the underlying platform supports suspending; otherwise it
invokes a subsidiary shell).  The "real" job control is disabled when
you enter Emacs, by virtue of the keyboard input setup Emacs does at
startup.

So please don't assume C-z is some shell job control magic; it isn't.
This is Emacs emulating that magic, because we decided long ago to do
that.  Arguing that Emacs does it because the underlying shell does it
is therefore counter-productive.
